NPC's are boring and feel like Fallout 4 which is a thousand years old. ZERO tutorial. Upgrading weapons blows. Want to change out components? The one you took off will disintegrate. You don't own that anymore and you did not get the resources back that it took to build it. No color schemes for anything. Zero skins for anything, even though it's an option. Every building on unexplored planets are one of like six. Constant repetition, down to crates being in the EXACT same place. Even the ship building and outpost is uninspired. I feel like Bethesda dropped the biggest ball ever. This game feels uninspired and unfinished. I think they're waiting for the modders to make it better, which is lazy. Space travel is horrifically boring. You have to fast travel everywhere. Dogfights are boring and repetitive. Iwould much rather have 1,000 different structures and unique NPC's than 1,000 empty rocks. Also, zero men running anything. All women everywhere. Shame on them. I will never buy a Bethesda game sight unseen again and I was their biggest fan before this release.

This game is an absolutely immersive, gorgeous movie that you get to play. Voice acting is unreal good, graphics are unbeatable and the look of the world is breathtaking. I love how the developer has made an open world RPG that you're not checking off boxes for the current side quest or mission you're currently on. There's no looking at boxes. The fighting mechanism is incredible. I'm a big time stealth guy and don't typically play RPG's that don't have good stealth mechanics. You can play either way in this game and I usually choose to play, "with honor," or no stealth. But both ways are excellent and don't get old. The way the fighting happens with standoffs feels very real to the character and with the integration of haiku writing and quiet reflections in hot springs, I feel myself drawn to the beautiful way of life depicted in this game of the Asian culture. I also absolutely love playing this game with the Japanese language with English subtitles. The overall effect of feeling like you're playing a movie is unsurpassed as far as I'm concerned. Also, the way the game guides you to your next place by the wind is just incredible and allows the game to really be immersive and keep you from constantly checking your map or having some unrealistic icon on your screen. I turn off the music and play with headphones and I just can't get enough of this game and I never want it to end. This, for me, will be the new gold standard as far as how I rate other open world RPG's.

What a gem. I found this on the PS4 Spring sale for like $15 so I figured what the heck. I'll give it a shot. The trailer looked Ok. What an amazing game I had never heard about. This is absolutely worth $60, so I feel like I stole it. Very, very original gameplay with amazing voice actors who honestly translate the emotion of the horrific situation in what they say and do. I love that the main character stays with the weapons she knows and can't just all of a sudden use a sword. The feeling that you are in imminent danger is palpable. As children you know you cannot outrun or outfight trained soldiers so you must be smart and stealthy. This game gets every single thing right. These devs should make every game I play. Get this game now and begin your journey.
